Amazon Web Services said it had made “incremental progress” in restoring cooling systems, noting that a power loss linked to the incident affected some hardware ‌and that services reliant on the impacted ⁠facility could experience “impairments”. AWS did ⁠not immediately respond ⁠to a Reuters request ⁠for comment seeking ⁠further details on what caused the overheating. As part of its recovery efforts, ⁠the cloud computing platform said it had shifted traffic away from the impacted Availability Zone for most services.

An “Availability Zone” comprises one or more connected physical data centres ⁠and are designed to operate independently within an AWS Region. The outage has affected ⁠Coinbase, which said some users may experience degraded ⁠performance ⁠due to the AWS issue, though the cryptocurrency exchange added that customer funds remain safe. — Reuters
